Also, the SPDX tag is rarely a separate comment line.  In most
cases, it is part of a larger file header, say for example:

common/main.c:

/*
 * (C) Copyright 2000
 * Wolfgang Denk, DENX Software Engineering, [email protected].
 *
 * SPDX-License-Identifier:     GPL-2.0+
 */


Do you suggest to reformat this into something like:

/*
 * (C) Copyright 2000
 * Wolfgang Denk, DENX Software Engineering, [email protected].
 */

// SPDX-License-Identifier:     GPL-2.0+

?

If yes, then please explain which sense this would make?  It is just
unnecessay work, and the result is inconsistent and ugly.

I forgot to ask which "tooling" you have in mind here?  I did not
see anything like that in the kernel source tree.  What am I
missing?

Best regards,
